At least 5-7 cheese jokes

I'll take the over on that one, Herps
January 11th, 2021 at 12:05 PM ^
I honestly can’t think of a worse casual nickname than Herps.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
Yes, you can.
January 11th, 2021 at 4:03 PM ^
LOL
I'd be lying to say this isn't one of my favorites usernames though.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:45 AM ^
Michigan by 20. Or Michigan by a little.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:51 AM ^
I've got Michigan by at least 10. The team has had a week off and I'm sure that they have been able to get in some great practices in preparation for the Badgers. Go Blue!
January 11th, 2021 at 11:53 AM ^
My prediction: 73-72 Michigan
Top Scorers: Wagner, Livers and Brooks
January 11th, 2021 at 12:07 PM ^
Great...please tell Livers to take open 3’s, attack close outs, score on fast breaks, back his guy down for a turnaround...ANYTHING other than him trying to break someone down off the dribble. He has a lot of skills, but wiggle isn’t one of them.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
Haha I'll shoot him a text.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:56 AM ^
Austin returns and helps lead the way over the Badgers.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:56 AM ^
My dream scenario: 5 seconds left on the clock, Michigan down by 2. Mike Smith drives hard to the basket. Brad Davison attempts to draw a charge, but get called for a block. The ball goes in as the clock expires. Smith drains the free throw. The basketball gods are verily satisfied.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:04 PM ^
I have wondered who would take the last shot, if needed. My guess would be Wagner.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:40 PM ^
I mean, I like close games, too. But this scenario is a little too close. This seems more like a nightmare with failed ending than a dream...
(A nightmare's failure would be a good ending, right??)
January 11th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
Agreed brother, those scenarios are way too close for comfort.
I feel like because of Wisconsin's experience the game will be pretty close but we'll win by 5-10 points.
77-70 Michigan.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:57 AM ^
Mich - 178
Wisc - 177
January 11th, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
I believe your analysis is slightly off. 178-176.
January 11th, 2021 at 11:58 AM ^
Dickinson will face a lot of double teams, but Livers and Wagner will benefit and lead scoring. Our D will be stifling, 38% shooting for the Skunks.
71-58, Meeeeshigan...
January 11th, 2021 at 12:00 PM ^
Gonna be a Maalox Masher,
UM:67
Whiskey: 64
January 11th, 2021 at 12:00 PM ^
Endless commentary about everyone's advanced age.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:11 PM ^
Only for Wisconsin.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:02 PM ^
Our Guards will have trouble getting penetration so I think we win an ugly 63-60 game
January 11th, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
Heh heh.
He said “penetration.”
January 11th, 2021 at 12:41 PM ^
Penetration... In a game featuring Brad Davidson.
Yeesh...
January 11th, 2021 at 12:08 PM ^
Insert Mr. T / Clubber Lang "Pain" gif here.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:15 PM ^
When is the game?
January 11th, 2021 at 12:18 PM ^
Tomorrow, 7:00 p.m. EST
January 11th, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
My prediction - M bench cheers louder than Wisky bench.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
I like this Michigan team. So many contributors on both sides of the ball. Playing as a team and have established an identity.
I’ll stop qualifying my statement and say Michigan wins. Go Blue.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
I vote for any prediction that has the game ending with Howard, Jackson, Nunez, Williams and whomever wrapping up the last 120 seconds.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:44 PM ^
RCMB blames the refs and says we'll be nothing once Dickinson goes pro and that Juwan will take an NBA job and then we'll be nothing and that Franz is overrated and that we'll be nothing as soon as he's gone and that Livers is a pro and Juwan is messing him up and we'll be no good as soon as he's gone.
January 11th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
And then they looked at next year's class and said "...fuck"
January 11th, 2021 at 12:46 PM ^
Michigan wins.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
I think Michigan by 10 - something like 75-65. Wiscy is overrated and Michigan is underrated.
January 11th, 2021 at 1:01 PM ^
Nervousness...because any time Wisconsin needs a critical basket, they're going to get it. Assholes.
January 11th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
The bling from Eli's new gold tooth blinds Davidson and he goes 0-13 for the night with 19 TO's.
January 11th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
Michigan wins 98-97, in a slugfest that causes us to go deep into our bench. CJ Baird wins it with a 43 foot 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left on the clock. Juwan jumps excitedly up and down, asking "Who is that guy?" Reporters interview the wrong guy after the game. CJ Baird immediately enters the transfer portal, feeling no love and thinking his marketability is at its peak.
January 11th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
Has there ever been a bigger asshole of an opponent that opposing fans wished more ill will upon than Brad Davidson?
January 11th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
Greyson Allen and Shane Battier from Duke.
January 11th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
I don't recall Battier having a dirty rep. Is that true?
January 11th, 2021 at 3:01 PM ^
How could i forget Allen. ugggh!
January 11th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
What does Vegas have for the over/under on Brad Davison nut shots? Go Blue! Give this central Wisconsinite a reason to wear his M gear with pride. These days have been few and far between lately.
January 11th, 2021 at 2:08 PM ^
Michigan is due for a bad game. Plus the Big Ten hates Michigan so Wisconsin will get all the calls.
January 11th, 2021 at 2:35 PM ^
33-32 Michigan; because whenever Wisconsin is involved, all offense ceases to exist.
January 11th, 2021 at 2:53 PM ^
The homer in me says Michigan by 6, but I wouldn't be even remotely surprised to see Wisconsin come in and pull some bullshit that they seem to always pull against Michigan, like go 60% from three, or Brad Davison chucks up a hail mary from beyond half court that goes down and sends the game to overtime. Right after he "accidentally" hits Hunter Dickinson in the crotch.
I don't know. Nothing would surprise me, really. I just hope Michigan wins. I think I hate Wisconsin more than any team in the Big Ten. Maybe even more than MSU. Too many bad memories of Bo Ryan teams ruining basketball games and ticky tack nonsense that somehow happens in this matchup that always seem to go Wisconsin's way. Wisconsin consistently seems to have a way to completely throw Michigan off its game.
January 11th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
No idea if they are any good. They haven't played anybody yet...Nebraska, Sparty, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana...None of them above .500 in conference, 10-24 combined record, plus, Wisky lost to one of them...
M, 80-58
January 11th, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
I think we house Wisconsin like we've housed the past few opponents.
Michigan 74
Wisconsin 61
January 11th, 2021 at 10:41 PM ^
83-77 Uof〽️
